ATV Transport Nationwide
ATV transport ships all-terrain vehicles safely from one location to another. ATVs are smaller than cars but require specialized handling. They need wheel chocks, tie-downs, and balanced loading. Furthermore, multi-ATV shipments require space-efficient loading patterns.
At Xpress Auto Transport, we coordinate ATV shipping nationwide. Whether you bought a new quad online, need to ship to a hunting trip, or move recreational vehicles seasonally, we have the solution.

ATV Shipping Methods
ATVs ship through several approaches. The right method depends on quantity, distance, and protection needs.
Open Trailer ATV Transport
The most common ATV shipping method. ATVs load onto open trailers and ship alongside other vehicles. Cost-effective for single ATV shipments.
Enclosed ATV Transport
For new ATVs, custom builds, or weather protection. Enclosed transport protects against rain, road debris, and theft.
Multi-ATV Shipments
Shipping 2 to 8 ATVs together is common for outfitters, rental businesses, and family fleets. Specialized trailers maximize space efficiency.

Common ATV Shipping Scenarios
ATV owners ship machines for many reasons. Below are the most common situations.
- Online ATV purchases — from auctions, Marketplace, Craigslist, or out-of-state dealers.
- Hunting trip transport — getting ATVs to remote hunting locations.
- Race event transport — competition ATVs to racing venues.
- Seasonal recreational moves — northern owners shipping south for winter use.
- Outfitter fleet transport — tour operators relocating fleets.
- Family or estate transfers — inherited or gifted ATVs.
Single ATV shipments often ride alongside other vehicles. Multi-ATV shipments justify dedicated trailers. Tell us the quantity at quote time for the best pricing.
Loading and Securing ATVs
ATV loading requires specific techniques to prevent damage and ensure safe transport.
- Drive-on loading — running ATVs drive onto trailers via ramps.
- Winch loading — non-running ATVs winch up onto the trailer deck.
- Wheel chocks — lock front wheels in position.
- Frame tie-downs — secure to ATV frame, never to plastics.
- Soft straps — prevent paint damage on tied-down areas.
- Balanced load distribution — multiple ATVs positioned for trailer balance.
Preparing Your ATV for Transport
Use these steps to prepare your ATV for shipping.
- Drain fuel to less than half tank.
- Disconnect the battery (recommended for long-distance shipping).
- Remove loose accessories (GPS, cargo bags, hand guards if removable).
- Lower the windshield if folding type.
- Wash the ATV and document its condition with photos.
- Confirm tire pressure is correct.
- Ensure brakes function (for drive-on loading).
- Provide the key and any anti-theft devices.
